How Does Acupuncture Work
In an acupuncture session, Dr. Keogh will insert very thin, fine needles into strategic points in your body. These are sterile, single-use, disposable needles to ensure your safety—and no, they won’t be painful. In fact, acupuncture rarely ever hurts. Each treatment lasts from 15 to 30 minutes.
The placement of acupuncture needles at certain points in the body triggers the release of steroids and endorphins, which helps decrease inflammation and block pain. The body’s natural healing is unlocked; you can sometimes experience immediate pain relief. Some patients have claimed to have feelings of euphoria after an acupuncture treatment.

What Are the Benefits of Acupuncture?
Acupuncture can have many benefits for the body. It can be used to ease and treat a number of conditions and injuries, but it can also contribute to a greater sense of overall well-being. Benefits include the following.
- Increased levels of relaxation
- Better sleep quality
- Reduced inflammation
- Decreased stress levels
- Reduced symptoms like nausea and sickness after surgery and some cancer therapies

Combining Therapies
Acupuncture treatment is often most successful when paired with other natural treatments such as massage therapy, chiropractic care and physiotherapy.
As an example, when acupuncture is combined with massage therapy, it can amplify the benefits. This is because acupuncture reduces inflammation, allowing the massage therapist to reach deeper and release more tension.
